I wanted to add text hints for the item bar for this exact reason, but I thought the icons were obvious enough (for me at least) to figure out, and I ran out of time anyways. That won't be too complicated and I'll make sure to add it in a post-jam update. Thanks for the feedback.

I spent too much time debugging robot movement and pickups, wanted to save adding levels to the last minute, there was a build issue and I had to fix that. Still got the game out though so I'd call that a win. If you want to see some updates you can bookmark the game and check back in a week's time.

I used a series of raycasts every few degrees for each robot's field of view and check if the collider hit is the player's. It's super inefficient for large numbers of robots but I didn't have time to optimise. The red light effect is all done by the Unity lighting system.

Thanks for playing the game and giving feedback! I'll implement these features once the jam is over.

Thanks for the comment! I'll try to add more levels and give a better explanation of the game mechanics once I update the game.
